Awesome. I hope this gets more coverage (although I seriously doubt it will).

Another interesting article here from someone "back home" gives a very clear view of her record in Alaska.

And in fact this Warrior Librarians site gives lots of lovely linkies including something that purports to be the letter Mrs Palin wrote to try and get her bro-in-law kicked out of the State Troopers. I can't vouch for it's veracity, but if it is genuine.... good grief.

Those are the kinds of things that will help break the spell.

Because the problem we have ('we' being everyone who has criticized her virtually from the day she was announced as running mate) is that we've turned her into the victim, and galvanized her party.

Even moderate Republicans who might not naturally warm to her are rallying round her, helping to stand up to the liberal aggressors.

She will most likely carry that through into the debates, and that concerns me.

It's not just the perception of the man (or crowd of men) picking on the woman. It's the perception of picking on the newbie, the small-town Mom. It's the danger that the debates will be won and lost not on ideological or intellectual merit, but on a gut feeling as to who feels like the good guys and who feels like the bad guys.

I hope I'm being pessimistic, but at the moment it feels like the more the media criticizes her, the stronger she becomes.

The story and the photos go a long way towards restoring my hope for our society. Thanks for the link.

And incidentally, I came across this article about Alaskan Republicans who were formerly critics of Palin's now closing ranks around her. Pretty blatant, telling stuff. Here's an excerpt:

Meanwhile, the so-called Troopergate investigation of the Palin administration has become a flashpoint for the governor's critics and defenders.

"Since Aug. 29 (when Palin was picked), the mood has really changed," said Halcro, whose own blog and radio show focus heavily on the investigation. "Now it's, 'Don't talk about it.' It's almost like blasphemy."

Conservative radio host Dan Fagan -- who said he hopes McCain beats Obama in November -- expresses frustration every day as callers object to his bringing up Troopergate and Palin's role. He accuses the governor's defenders of trying to sweep things under the rug to protect her candidacy.

"I'm hearing from my friends on the right, the truth doesn't matter. It's about the team," Fagan complained on his KFQD show this week.
